Wich OS to choose on my new server?
I have a new server athlon 64 x2 5600, 4gb ddr and choosing beetwen OS. I have red hat, fedora, suse...in my mind or any other by your recomendation? I'll use it for some joomla and similar php code projects and the rest of the space i'll sell further. I'll have cpanel or plesk...don't know jet. Also don't know to choose 64 or 32 bit system? tnx for your help!

The distro choice will be your own, it' really a matter of preference. However because you have 4GB of RAM I would recommend using a 64-bit system so you can avoid the 32 bit barrier and the PAE messing. Check the polls in the forum for popular distributions.

There are no accurate answers for your type of question. I suggest you take both for a spin and see which one works best for you. Originally Posted by mattek33

I agree with daark.child. You should try as many as you can and decide yourself. If you have any other question, feel free to start a new thread.
Thread Locked.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
